ClamXav and infected files

Just ran a scan of my Home Folder and ClamXav found 144 infected files (Window's Trojans), in a folder of 300+ .emix files in a Messages folder in my Trash.box. Quick view shows the infected files to be of asian origin. When I double-click to open it in Mail app reader, there is no text and deleting it in Mail does nothing in the actual folder. I suppose there a chance of corrupting the Mail database if I manually delete them?
